Sweet ginger and chilli veg with rice noodles

You can’t really fault student cookbooks for fast cheap food. The Ultimate Vegetarian Student Cookbook is a good’un, recommended. You don’t get fancy pictures or owt, but I’m sure you have a lovely imagination. I managed. I didn’t, however, manage to realise when dividing the ingredients to make for one that it’s a ‘serves 2’ not ‘4’ as standard (I normally put serves 2 up here, but they don’t normally come like that), anyway, long and the short of it is that this is a more substantial meal than pictured. About twice as substantial. Roughly.

 Ingredients:

Prep everything, cook the noodles if they’re not fancy pre-cooked lazy ones. I didn’t know what chinese broccoli looked like so didn’t find any in sainsbury’s, so used tenderstem brocolli halved or quartered lengthways if thick, and then halved sideways. Or whatever that way is called. The brown stuff pictured is the tasty tasty sauce.

Heat the oils, and fry the onion and ginger until soft

Add the veg and stir fry until tender

Add the rice noodles, then the sauce mix, stir well

Add the thai basil, or if you’re rubbish like me and didn’t have time to visit an asian supermarket, regular basil

Serve! (Please use that lovely imagination to double the below pictured portion)
